Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain , Anxiety And Shortness Of Breath

I did hard physical work yesterday and I started getting dullish uncomfortable pains in my chest and back on left side. It also, is in my arms and neck. I still have it today and it gets worse with any physical exertion. I am under a lot of stress and anxiety. I also am noticing shortness of breath and feel dizzy when I get up from a reclining position off the ground. Heart attack? Oops, nevermind. I m broke. Sorry.

Hello
I really appreciate your concern
Chest pain and shortness of breath is a matter of concern which may be related to heart or lung disease

I would like further information to help you better
Your age and relevant medical history?
Does it associated with sweating or palpitations?
Since how long you have this problem?

In my opinion you should immediately visit a cardiologist or a general physician for detailed check up and further investigations like EKG and blood for serum cardiac markersto rule out heart disease first
Another possibility is a lung disease or infection

You should take deep breath
complete bed rest, until diagnosis rules out heart ailments
If available you can take oxygen

Thanks for your question
wish you good health
I find this answer helpful
